Suspected thugs have set ablaze the Ikwerre Local Government Secretariat in Rivers State.
A video of the burning building
went viral on social media on Monday.
The burning of the Ikwere local
government secretariat follows the earlier reports that a section of the Eleme
Local Government Council secretariat in Rivers State was also set on fire.
The incident occurred just days
after the Rivers Local Government Elections, in which the Action Peoples Party
(APP) won most seats.
Meanwhile, a former
Commissioner for Information in Rivers State, Austin Tam-George, has levelled
serious accusations against the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory
(FCT), Nyesom Wike, claiming that he is attempting to destabilize the state.
Rivers State has been in the
news for several months, with heightened tensions in recent weeks leading up to
the local government elections.
The ongoing power struggle
between Wike, a former governor of Rivers State, and the current Governor,
Siminalayi Fubara, has intensified political discourse and captured public
attention.
Tam-George contends that Wike
is engaging in activities aimed at creating instability in Rivers State,
further complicating the already contentious relationship between the two
political figures.
He alleges that Wike’s actions
are not only detrimental to the current administration but also threaten the
overall peace and security of the state.
The former commissioner, who
served under Wike’s administration, said on Channels Television, “I’m very
disappointed in what the minister is doing. He’s the one orchestrating this.
He’s the one who has set forth a process to destabilise the state.
“I was commissioner for
information in the previous administration and so I’m highly disappointed in
the minister. What I expected him to do was to, you know, focus on his mandate.”
